Pictures of Edwardian era drunks: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1260872/Ancestry-Edwardian-Englands-drunkards.html

These should be added to the next 1890s COC game anyone plays.

INTERPOL list of recent art thefts

Nice collection of paintings and objects stolen in the last two months; includes physical details but little or no historical information.
GENERALA, my free dungeon-crawling RPG, is now available! And it's free!

I'm left-handed.  Hah!  Take that, science!

Now I'll be fine while the rest of the country is...turned...into...amoral...sociopaths...

Actually I don't see the upside any more.
I didn't come here to win. I came to make friends.

I'm left handed as well. Maybe we can team up? Take it on the road, Mad Max style.

Actually that sounds like a great scenario, forcing all the PCs to play left handed.

In Messiah related news
http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/03/29/simpsons.messiah.syndrome/?hpt=Sbin

Get past the part about the Simpson, and get to the Jerusalem Syndrome part.

Quote from: wikipedia
The best known, although not the most prevalent, manifestation of the Jerusalem syndrome is the phenomenon whereby a person who seems previously balanced and devoid of any signs of psychopathology becomes psychotic after arriving in Jerusalem. The psychosis is characterised by an intense religious theme and typically resolves to full recovery after a few weeks or after being removed from the area.

Possession in a historically and mythologically rich area, in a country host to modern and ancient conflict.
